I think I'm about to have to replace my Haldex pump or the unit, the 'Gearbox Fault Traction reduced' amber warning is appearing most journeys, the light on the drive mode strip go out at the same time.

Couple of questions, have LR ever admitted that there is a fault with these units and done a recall (my Freelander MY13 is out of warranty).
Secondly when I bought the car it came with an Autoguard warranty (it was free), has anyone on here ever claimed for a Haldex pump on this type of warranty.

No point in going for a Haldex or pump change until you get it diagnosed. May just need an oil and filter change. Contact Austen at Bell Engineering (forum sponsor) who specialise in FL2 transmissions. Austen will advise your best options.

As far as LR is concerned the Haldex “sealed for life” & is good for 150k without touching it. Where Volvo or Audi service every 20 to 40k.

I have an LR Warranty which paid for a Haldex software update.

I have had the haldex unit oil and filter changed it was showing signs of being blocked and also the ATF changed also showing signs of failure it was very dark in colour both done as a precaution at 65k it was far cheaper the having to repair them

Had my Haldex serviced at Bell Engineering yesterday. The filter that came out was really gunked up.

I'm going to book into Land Rover Services in Hull to have the oil changed and filter cleaned. Is it worth getting a diagnostic test done first, it seems fairly obvious what the trouble is going to be.

For the oil change and filter am I looking at around £200? Also what is the ATF? 2013 GS Baltic Blue - part exchanged now for Volvo V40

I had Haldex filter and oil replaced plus diff oil change for £200.

ATF is Auto Transmission Fluid. 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Thanks, that is about what I'm expecting. 2013 GS Baltic Blue - part exchanged now for Volvo V40

Make sure they remove the whole assembly (haldex and pump) to do the service. It’s the only way of getting all the muck out.

Thanks all for your assistance with this  2013 GS Baltic Blue - part exchanged now for Volvo V40

It’s ten years old with 62k on the clock, Jules.

Thanks.

Some suggested servicing the Haldex at 30K miles - mines nearly there. Jules

Was going to get my Haldex serviced by an Indy at 40000 miles the other month. However, they told me they looked at the colour of the fluid and said it was clear and bright so not really necessary. Might ask them to do it at 50000.

A bit OT, but a colleague had a similar fault on his 5 year old Evoque. Needed a new Haldex pump. Land Rover dealer charged him about £850. But that did include a tin of Land Rover mints.
